The Ex Apes always were very angry. Mostly because they were such poor musicians but they were also angry about other things. Like sex, drugs and religion. Though never really a "band" so to speak, the Ex Apes gained popularity in the early 1990s when they threw 10000 copies of their first EP out the side of a rented airplane and onto the unsuspecting heads of a football game crowd.

Recorded on a variety of instruments from professional to unfessional, the Ex Apes have enough anger and energy to fuel the entire Thumptruck enterprise.
